This will give the dedicated student an opportunity to work and explore the deeper aspects of yoga individually and as a group, bringing the practice to a level of clarity and intuitive intelligence.
The International Yoga Centre is a Yoga Alliance Registered School - 500 hours level.  
Interested students please contact IYC via the 'contact us' page or call Joan at 6736-1958.





Class Descriptions -- On-going classes (in black)

Yoga basics :  
level 1-2  suitable for beginners            level 2-3 suitable for on-going practitioners

Progressive, clear and precise instructions on the principles of yogic movement, elements of stance work and knowledge of alignment for a solid foundation. Designed to introduce the basic preparatory exercises of the Shadow style of Hatha Yoga which build strength and develop openness of the hips. Classes incorporate as well a firm grounding in the attention to the breath and alignment within the activity based on the Iyengar tradition of yoga. Knowledge of correct movement of the body is essential and will help decrease risk of injury, respecting the first value in yoga which is ahimsa, non-injury or love.
 
Repetition of stances, linking the dynamic actions with an even, rhythmic breath, knowledge of alignment and correct body movements based on the Iyengar method will help the student to gradually build strength, flexibility, will-power and equanimity by staying balanced and centered while in activity. These classes prepare the practitioner for the Prelude Forms and further asanas. It is a patient, compassionate yet a thorough approach.
